Great school can’t praise the elei tutors enough. Was my daughters first year last year even with all the lockdowns we managed to get there in the end. Thank you and look forward to coming again for dawn 🙂
My husband and I contacted Lorna to teach us a Samoan siva for our wedding first dance. I am half Samoan but have never learnt how to siva. My husband is palagi. Straight away, at our first meeting with Lorna, we loved her! She is such a lovely person and we immediately warmed to her. We ended up having four private lessons with her. She choreographed a beautiful siva for me and choreographed an awesome aiuli for my husband to complement my siva. We had such a fun time at every lesson! The final siva at our wedding was awesome! My Samoan aiga and our other friends and family absolutely loved it. We would both highly recommend ELEI Dance to anyone wanting to learn how to siva! Thank you Lorna! We love you! xo
lovely people, their passion and patience in teaching our girls over 10 weeks was amazing. And at no cost is a blessing. Highly recommended. 👍
